Building and maintaining a career in the music industry requires a continuous balance of creativity and business expertise. To help support music entrepreneurs in gathering that critical knowledge and making connections, Manitoba Music is gearing up for a new season of professional development workshops and training opportunities: MusicWorks.(MyToba)

“With the goal of looking forward to where technology, creativity and arts is moving to in Canada, SESQUI brought together artists from across disciplines and geographies to create a suite of immersive filmmaking stories, included on a free-for-download Virtual Reality app called MERIDIAN,” comments Andrea Stewart, Executive Producer, SESQUI. “We were elated and honoured to have been able to collaborate with the innovative DJ crew & producers of A Tribe Called Red to bring to life Indian City in interactive VR and plunge viewers into a world of music and dance they help to mix.”(Cashbox Canada)

The popular live music venue, restaurant and bar will close at the end of 2017 for renovations before re-emerging in the new year as a restaurant without live music. News of the upcoming changes was given to employees late last week.(Vancouver Sun)

@russ pretty lucky that that is our standard don’t you think? I have not done more cycling than my commute to work and back because the smoke is so bad from all of the forest fires.
Today I may go for a drive and hike to look for chunks from a meteor … see my previous post link

Best of luck searching for meteorites Morgana! I heard about the fireball, must have been a sight to see.

I’m back at work after a fun long weekend. The race was great, and I shook James Hinchcliffe’s hand, which was a highlight for me!

It did add some excitement to an otherwise work filled weekend. it is not looking like anyone else is as keen as i am to go looking for the meteorite and seeing as i don’t drive that is that.
I’ll settle for some good music today:)

Hi all

Looking for a meteorite sounds cool to me morgana.

My long weekend was spent doing some work for a couple organizations I volunteer for and trying to get a bit of cleaning done before I get a plumber to come in my house. : – /

Darbar – I’m always afraid I’ll have a house emergency and have to call someone in who will see how messy my house is. The fear isn’t bad enough to clean or anything, I just worry about it 🙂

@Janet, I should send you photos of this place, it will make you feel better about your own home (ask DBS how untidy was when I slept on the couch)

Haha! I am getting over caring that people know how much of a pig sty I live in. I still don’t invite people in unless I absolutely have to though. But the house is falling apart and I need people to come fix it. I still think about just bull dozing the whole thing down.

@justin we too are surrounded by fires and are living in a smoke and ash covered time. take care.
This must be particularly scary times for those who believe in the end of world stuff; fires everywhere, eclipse and a meteor exploding.

@garfielduk thanks for being the “research guy”. I noticed they are playing while I am in Vancouver in October for the Arcade Fire show.

morgana, that girl with the long name I can’t quite come up with is in both bands. Raphaelle Standell-Preston, had to look it up. The two bands sound not dissimilar.

That would be great Morgana. Seriously, in my thoughts.

Fun fact: It was Grimes who turned me on to Blue Hawaii. I saw her (and was mightily impressed) at Maverick’s maybe around 2012 or so, and chatted with her very cute, absolutely tiny self after the show, and mentioned BRAIDS (as Grimes was also centred there at the time), and that’s when she mentioned Raphaelle’s side project.
